TL;DR · Data and AI Portfolio, Director

The Data and AI Portfolio, Director leads the portfolio responsible for transitioning data and AI products from initial strategy to client value across customer-facing and enterprise AI arenas. This role involves owning the portfolio across product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to decide on funding, sequencing, and delivery based on revenue potential and risk. Key responsibilities include running a stage-gated pilot-to-production model, shaping a reusable platform roadmap, and serving as an executive delivery lead for strategic engagements. The position requires expertise in LLM-based products, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, and guardrails. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency with tools like OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and Azure, while managing model risk, data privacy, and unit economics within the banking and payments domain.

What you'll do

  • Own the data and AI portfolio by deciding what to fund, sequence, and stop based on client value and risk.
  • Run a stage-gated pilot-to-production model for Customer and Enterprise AI use cases with clear exit criteria.
  • Partner with Product Management to shape a reusable platform roadmap for models, retrieval, and agent orchestration.
  • Collaborate with go-to-market teams on launch readiness, packaging, pricing inputs, and sales enablement.
  • Serve as the executive delivery lead for strategic client engagements, managing steering committees and executive feedback.
  • Manage delivery dependencies and roadmap alignment with model and cloud partners.
  • Ensure responsible AI standards by overseeing evaluation, human-in-the-loop design, and compliance reviews.
  • Report portfolio performance to senior leadership using a scorecard of value, adoption, and cost to serve.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years in product delivery, portfolio, or program leadership.
  • 4+ years leading data or AI portfolios with ownership of prioritization and investment trade-offs.
  • Proven track record of taking LLM-based products or AI agents from pilot to production at enterprise scale.
  • Fluency in building and running LLM applications, including RAG, model/prompt strategy, tool use, agent orchestration, evaluation, and guardrails.
  • Delivery experience across both Customer AI and Enterprise AI scenarios.
  • Demonstrated partnership with go-to-market and solutions teams to support deals, client pilots, and launches.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience delivering AI in banking, payments, or financial services (preferred).
